Points in the Breeding and Care
of Horses.

OF all the rules that should be kept IN
mind BY the breeder of horses. the hrst
is. the sire and dam should be free from
disease. That constitution and endurance,
| like weakness and disease, are inherited,
no intelligent observer or student denies.
Because there are exceptions to this rule
does not make it safe to deviate from 1t.
| A sound horse is far more likely to get
sound colts than an unsound one. Among
the Arabs and the English special stress
was laid on the soundness of the mare.
| Government inspection and license OF stall
lions have been recommended as a means
of improving the quality of horses. II
! Government inspectors were all souho III
! Judgment and morals, we might expect
great good from the Government lnspec-
| ton of horses intended to be let tor SER
vice. The method of stabllng In damp,
dark stablss, in vitiated atmosphere, TO-
gether with excessive strains on constItu-
ton and powers of horses by exposure to
storms and extremes OF heat and cold,
and sudden stopping in cold winds alter
violent and wearing work. all tend 10
weaken the race of horses. All arti-
fetal methods of keep and feed and
work are abnormal and against nature,
and tend to undermine the stamina
and hardness of tne horse. The science
of breeding. together with better knowl-
edge of sanitary laws. must help to pre-
vent the ills incident to these dangers at
tending the horse in civilization. The
mare is capable of breeding at two years
old; but as size, good form, and sound
health are essential to the value OF the
horse, it is unwise to risk these by so early
taxing nature heavily. The old English
view is a safe one, that one or the other OF
the parents should be mature. If a young
mare is to be bred, the horse should not
be less than eight or ten years old, and 1t
is generally accepted that an aged mare,
if bred at all, viii do better bred to a
young horse. If both horse and mare are
very Young or very old. the colt is gener-
ally weak and small. Many of the best
horses have been gotten by old stations.
Old or worn out mares are not successful.
The history of trotters does not show re-
markabe good colt from any of the noted
old mares that have been retired to the
harem from the track. Old mares
that have been kept breeding.
and not worn out by hard
labor, have produced some noted horses.
good rule is to wait until the mare is
past three, and then breed her to a horse
of full maturity.-People's Farm and
Home Cyclopedia.

ABOUT PROMINENT MEN.

j. Y. Moftitt, who has spent the last week
among railroad nagnates, says the railroad
building in the west will be shut down with
the exception of contracts already let. In
his interview with Mr.. Keep, president of the
Chicago & Northwestern, Mr.. Keep stated
they wanted to get into southern Kansas
with their railroad, but owing to the effect
of the interstate law his company did not
propose to build road and turn it over to
the commissioners. If the commissioners was
to run the railroads they preferred that they
should build them. Mr. Moffitt also had an
interview with Hon. T. Reed, Of Maine. Mr..
Reed said heawas surprised at the western
senator's and representatives voting for
the bill. He thought at one time he
would be the only member of the
house voting against it, but if he
was he would have done SO just the same,
but on counting the votes, he found there
was thirty-one votes recorded against the
looks better in Kansas, and that there will be
larger yield in Kansas than in Iowa,
Illinois, Nebraska or Missouri. He also says
that there is $35, 100000 less money in the
N. Y banks than there was this time last
year, and Sc, OOO, 600 less than two years
ago. He thinks this speaks well for the
western states. 1t shows that there is more
money in circulation and that the money
centers are more equally distributed. Chi
cago, st. Louis, Cincinnati and Boston are
today large money centers, while but few
years ago New York was the money center
of the United States.

THE WATCH FACTORY.

Bids are being worked up in the various
localities to secure the location of the watch
factory, and it might not be out of place to
state something of the magnitude of the en-
terprise The company will proceed with
the erection Of the necessary buildings as
soon as the question of location is deter
mined.
The plans of the plant will be very similar
to the Elgin plant. There will be erected
this fall one wing, 30xl45 and three stories
high; one machine shop, one engine house,
one dial shop and one store house, all Of
and rooted with iron. 1t is expected to have
to have the buildings completed by
the 1st of December. Operations in
the machine shop will be commenced
Immediately upon the completion of the
buildings and will proceed to manufacture
the special tools used in the factory. This
work will be pushed forward with all possible
speed and the company expects to start the
factory early the coming summer. The fac
tory, when in full operation will employ
about 400 hands. While the business manage
ment of the company is disposed to be conser.
vative and CAREFUL nothing will be left I'M
done to make the watch factory the foremost
enterprise of Wichita; one that will be on Or
nament to the locality, profit to the stock
holders and source of pride to the city. The
company's directory is sufficient guarantee
of its good faith.

CAUGHT IN THE ACT.

Yesterday afternoon a gentleman in
formed Officers Antrim and Spurrier that he
had seen young man carrying two boxes
of tobacco into the old elevator along the
Santa Fe track. They went to the elevator,
and just as they went in the front door saw
three boys come from the building and get
upon the front of the yard engine. They
searched the old structure, and in one of the
rooms found two caddies of star tobacco.
Shortly afterwards they arrested the three
boys and locked them up in the cooler, in
tending to give them hearing as soon as
the owner of the stolen tobacco can be
found. The boys give the names of Harry
Foote, William Carney and William Baily.
They say they are from Cleveland and have
been employed upon the Santa Fe Mulvain
extension. Carney and Baily both accuse
Foote, the oldest and largest of the party of
the theft and declare their own innocence.

LINES DETERMINED,

The mayor, street committee and council
men from the Second ward will meet today
at 10 o'clock in Buckridge's office, on North
Main, and accompanied by the city engineer,
will determine the bank of the river on the
east side from Central avenue to Douglas
avenue. When that work is completed they
will 90 to the west side and determine the
bank of the river from Douglas avenue to
Maple street.
As viii be seen, the late action of the coun-
ell concerning the river bank question stopped
work on a piling contract on the west side
commencing at the bri ige and running south.
The row of piles, as started, would very soon
reach the east bank Of the river. 1t would
seem that il it had been carried out in that
direction that the river channel would not
have been wide enough to accommodate a
drouth. The promiscuons and persistent en-
croachment on the river by the few brought
about the ordinance and one member of the
council stated yesterday that no piling had
created SO strong sentiment in favor.of the
ordinance as the work lately done on the
west side Immediately south of the river.
The work Ct the committee and engineer
today Will probably result in giving line and
the property owners can pile accordingly il
they choose.

the engagement for the next evening with
his best girl, telegraphed to the purchaser
for the immediate return of his hat. He
waited patiently all day Saturday for the
precious property, but 1t came not; and so al

Permission was granted to extend the
Butler sewer to the Wichita Mercantile Com

Mr.. Butler introduced the matter OF sur
veys which are giving him some trouble on
South Main street DR.. Whitlock is waiting
action of the council wishing to find lot.
The city surveyor stated that the stakes
are all gone and it was hard to find lines.
There are two feet Of surplus in the block and
he thought this divided up among the prop
erty owners would help settle the trouble.
The city attorney stated that the city en-
gineer had done his duty by adopting the
Beahr survey and neither he nor the city
were responsible for any damage. The
Baehr survey had been adopted by the city
and all the city engineer had to DO was to
see that the stI eets be not encroached upon
by buildings.
Mr.. Fegtley stated that the cicy engineer
had advised people to not build according to
the Baehr survey.
The city engineer denied very strongly OF
having told any one not to build by the
Baehr survey. He had stated
that that survey was not cor
rect in many places. The city attorney
told Messrs. Butler and Fegetty that the af-
fair on south Main was private business
and the city had nothing to do with it. They
must tend to their own business down there
and not run to city with their own business. F"
Mr.. Brown asked that committee and
the city engineer be instructed to determine
the line of the river bank and near the foot
OF Central avenue. The public improve
ment committee councilmen from the second
ward and city engineer were instructed to
determine the line from Central avenue to
Douglas avenue. The same body was also
to determine line on the west side
from Douglas avenue to Maple street.
The city engineer was instructed to meas
ure the Butler block and see how many feet
of the street would be taken ia give all lots a
proper width.
